more anti-political banner drops in milwaukee

some more milwaukee anarchists, 08.02.2008 12:56

Three banners were dropped on the national day of action against the elections called by Unconventional Action, a loose network anarchists and anti-authoritarians organizing against the upcoming party conventions.

The banners read:
"Victory Against Politics"
"Shut Down the RNC"
"9-1-08"

“The wretched tribe of Nero”

Everywhere you go these days the false winds of change are in the air. The wretched few who dangle the carrot of hope before the mass snicker and plot while every four years they trot out their candidates for us to pick from. It’s much like the choice between rope or guillotine, starvation or bondage. There are those who out of despair would choose slow strangulation rather than cast aside their chains to taste true liberation. We are not among them. We do not do these things for reform or recuperation or false change, we do them because we must. The insinuation that we would do well to listen is insulting. How many times have people believed their leaders in the past only to have them deny what they promised, whether it be treaties with indigenous people, fair working conditions for laborers, assurances that the environment would be protected, the millions who have been led into numerous wars whose foundation is a bed of lies?

(another friendly aside to our friend politics)

Dear Politics,

We know that opposing you at the conventions will not guarantee victory, but we do know that there are virtually millions who see no hope with you and there will be a tipping point. Our numbers are bolstered by every person who refuses to accept the structure given to them, who valiantly opposes politics as usual. With every law passed that outlaws freedom we see our ranks swell, made up of those who are no longer content to blindly follow the course of empire. Your end will come, for while we bring joy to the countless who are waking up from slavery, you will look upon us and see your doom.

Sincerely,
